Practical Applications

o Repent and Believe the Gospel for Salvation.

o How closely am I walking in fellowship with God & others? What’s holding me back from a deeper walk?

o How willing am I to confess my sins? What do I need to believe about the Gospel to help me be more transparent?

o Who can I partner with to help in the fight against sin and to point to love Jesus more?
